Federal Register / Vol. 72, No.
118 / Wednesday, June 20, 2007 / Notices 34049
herein presents the results of its
investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older
workers.
In order for the Department to issue
a certification of eligibility to apply for
ATAA, the group eligibility
requirements of Section 246 of the
Trade Act must be met. The Department
has determined in this case that the
requirements of Section 246 have been
met.
A significant number of workers at the
firm are age 50 or over and possess
skills that are not easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the
industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the additional
facts obtained on reconsideration, I
conclude that increased imports of
articles like or directly competitive with
those produced at Romar Textile, Co.,
Inc., Wampum, Pennsylvania,
contributed importantly to the declines
in sales or production and to the total
or partial separation of workers at the
subject firm. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
‘‘All workers of Romar Textile Co., Inc.,
Wampum, Pennsylvania, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or
after March 13, 2006 through two years from
the date of this certification, are eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are
eligible to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of
the Trade Act of 1974.’’
Signed in Washington, DC, this 12th day of
June 2007.

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.
